Mann was on Friday forced by the family of Manmeet Alisher to leave their home in Sangrur after he persistently misbehaved with them as well as the media-persons present there. There is video proof that has gone viral on social media.

Punjab Congress has blamed Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader and Sangrur MP Bhagwant Mann for turning up druk at the creamation of Manmeet Alisher who was burnt alive in Australia while AAP has hits back at Congress for levelling false allegations.

The statement added that misbehaving under the influence of alcohol seemed to be becoming a habit with Mann, who just did not deserve to be taken seriously as a politician and candidate for the upcoming Assembly elections.

“Stumbling and slurring as he spoke to the media, Mann appeared to be under the influence of alcohol, as he is increasingly prone to be. Media reports on Saturday morning also described in considerable detail Mann’s abhorrent behaviour, and that too at such a solemn occasion,” said a statement from Punjab Congress.

AAP Convener of Punjab Gurpreet Singh Waraich in a statement said that the allegations are totally false and mischievous.
